Bad bad performance. Pellegrini got his tactics spot on last night just like Jose did 2 weeks back. Few things I believe needs to be highlighted and get some thoughts/answers: Why do we keep playing Ivanovic game after game on the right, And Azpi playing left. Why is Cole getting the cold shoulder?Mark Hazard out and Chelsea are completely lostNo creativity at all with the 4-3-3No rotation ... we got a good bench strength ...Mata's so called replacement ... Salah? (i m not saying it Jose had mentioned it) Seriously!Really want to understand what is E'to feeding Jose which Ba is not .... Ba is completely sidelined, I believe he can give offer something different when compared to E'to and Torres.Jose should stop talking too muchWanted to include youth players but then that is an age old issue for us ....

Time to make a change ..... Get in Mata!!!

Not only is he a very good player but a gentleman and a great ambassador to the club ... kind of character who go on to become Legends. Thats rare to find these days! I know at this point of time it is seems that it is good for him to leave but i just cant imagine why Jose didnt give him the due credit ... he could easily rotated him and he would have still stayed and more over developed ... i dont know, just too sad to see this news.... I miss a beat whenever there is new update! Damn!

Same was said abt RVP last year ... Look what happened! United basically bought the title for 24m .... Rooney is a player that Mourinho likes and want ... Im sure he would get the best out of him.

I guess for the first time in many years the pressure in on Chelsea to win this as United from where things are have nothing to lose .... They have been already taken to the cleaners, they lose wouldnt make much difference BUT if they win you can just imagine how everyone is going to go Ga-ga ... so we better win this one!

An Idea that is not working? Are u serious ... Until last year one of the best in the No 10 role now u want to convert him into a wide player specially when u have Hazard and Schrulle in the game. Conspiracy theory! Yes because we dont have anything else to do so we are busy creating conspiracy theories.

Why the hell is Mata not playing in the center ... We got 2 wide players and still Mata is deployed on the right! Is Jose seriously trying to force Mata out?

While your on it, also check if we could have both .... Would be a real coup!

Just an average performance or maybe below average .... The only silver lining is the clean sheet (first back to back clean sheet for the season .. wow) Over reliance on Hazard and Ramiers in the center .. I m not sure if it is only me but I believe Hazard performance has gone down as compared to last season ... E'to is just a liability.. i agree with Gary Neville that we play with 10 men! Oscar continues to amaze me ... the kind of tackles and his work rate he puts in is just superb for a school boy sorry for a creative/attacking player.

Suarez not one among the best! your kidding, right?

It is not simple but when the likes of United and Arsenal are after him why not jump in and grab one of the best in the world .... (this is only if we are buying else I would just want Chalobah to be recalled and take our chances)

We need someone in the midfield and who better than Gündoğan ... i believe there are some contract issues going on ... Send KDB and make a deal for Gündoğan and Lewandoski possibly ....

So we spend another few millions on buying players ... then that doesnt work, another manager and another team ... nice loop ...In the end, Chelsea would be sold out to Arsenal type owners and then we all would cry!

Cech Azpi --- Ivan ---- Terry --- Cole Ramiers Oscar Willian ---- Mata---- Hazard Torres/Schurrle I would want push Oscar deep because the more i see him play the more i get amazed as to why he is not playing as the deep lying midfielder ... The way he makes the challenges is really good plus he track backs so well, very good all round game player can defend, can attack, can tackle, can shoot .....Ivanovic in the center and Azpi to his preferred position.

It is so freaking frustating when u watch the likes of Citys, the Arsenals, the Uniteds, the Liverpools even Everton ... Their game play hugely benefits the strikers thus creating so much movement inside the box which allows them to score goals .. whereas we are just lost as soon as we touch the edge of the box and not to forgot that we have great strikers!

Honestly we dont recruit players to just create chances, we hire them to finish the job! This is not the excuse that the manager should be giving. Why cant we play more direct specially in and around the box, why do we keep swinging like a pendulum from here to there without any real intent to get in.

Then avoid the game and the score till 26th. Atleast u get to celebrate with all smiles.....

E'to and Mikel r such a liability to the club... Have no idea why one was bought and other kept for so long! It's 4 in the morning and I have lost my sleep now. ... fan should have slept when we were leading!

The best thing for me pre-match is that Azpilicueta would get to finally play at his preferred position.

Our strikers situation and looking forward into the future Strikers situation is bad (Though there are loads of other factors as well) The future is Lukaku who is out on loan and he is one that should be looked for the present & the foreseeable future.

I guess no one can better this. Perfectly correct on all countI dont know but for some stupid reason I keep going back to the dialogue that he made in his documentary "A Manager needs to involve himself with time to be in the game" and i keep hoping that it comes true with Jose during his time at Chelsea... Hope!

My point is that we have had all the investment in the world to make a world class squad which team like United and Arsenal haven't spend. Now we were stupid to put our money in one type of stock is a different story all together. Looking at the City team is what u wanted from Chelsea to be honest, investing the money rightly. Coming to that the management had a certain vision (Pep) and they got a different one in Jose now. It is like a big fusion happening right now! Anyways like i said different story all together.

United and Fergie has actually made a mockery of the league by having a half baked team which kept winning titles and very little investment when compared to others. While we have already spend heel lot of money which should warranty comfy wins against teams like Crystal Palace (no offense to the smaller teams) than have crappy wins.Honestly after so much investment why can't we be in the same league like the Bayerns, the Barcas or the Madrids?

Great to see lot of us just being content by 3 points ... We have being poor to be honest and these are the games that we need to kill off not be content by 3 points .... In the grand scheme of things i find this as a defeat!

Honestly, dont see Chelsea winning at Emirates .... Arsenal mite just score for fun!
